DOCUMENT:Q307531 31-MAY-2002 [sms] TITLE :SMS: SMS 2.0 English-Language Client Support on Non-English OS PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER::2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsms200 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Microsoft supports for a System Management Server (SMS) 2.0 English-language client that runs on a non-English operating system. You can have this combination if the following conditions are met: - The SQL Server code page is ANSI 1252 for the SMS site database. - The AutomaticAnsiToOEM option is turned off. MORE INFORMATION ================ The non-English SMS 2.0 server languages include both the localized language client and the U.S. English-language client. For example, an SMS 2.0 Japanese site server can install either Japanese or English-language SMS clients. If the client's language is not recognized when it is installed, the English-language client is installed. Microsoft supports this configuration. For example, if a Chinese operating system tries to install an SMS client from a Japanese SMS site server, the English-language client is installed and supported on the Chinese computer. If you use SQL Server 7.0 Japanese for the SMS site database, you must install the SQL Server with following settings: Character Set : 1252/ISO changed from 932 (Japanese SQL Server default setting) Sort Order : Dictionary order, case-insensitive Unicode Collation - Locale Identifier : General Unicode After the SQL server installs, turn off the AutomaticAnsiToOEM option. For more information about the SQL Server and the other versions, please see the SQL Server manual or contact Microsoft Product Support Services.
